Lovin' Spoonful - Darlin' Be Home Soon
Go, and beat your crazy head against the sky Try, and see beyond the houses and your eyes It's OK to shoot the moon

The Moon Upstairs - Mott the Hoople
Well my brother he was a drinking man And I asked him for release He said this won't do you no good And sent for the police
Well they busted me for nothing Cos they said I was insane So they let my body go But they locked away my brain
Well I wandered freely as a bird that had broken both its wings And I hated them and they hated me and I hated everthing And I realise that to survive well my body is not mine And I feel neglected feel rejected Living in the wrong time
And to those of you who always laugh Let this be your epitaph
And my head is down and I'm called a clown by comedians that grace The living stage of every page of worthless meaningless space But I swear to you before we're though you're gonna feel our every blow We ain't bleeding you we're feeding you but you're too fcuking slow
And to those of you who always laugh Let this be your epitaph

The Last DJ - Tom Petty
Well you can't turn him into a company man You can't turn him into a whore And the boys upstairs just don't understand anymore Well the top brass don't like him talking so much, And he won't play what they say to play And he don't want to change what don't need to change
There goes the last DJ Who plays what he wants to play And says what he wants to say, hey hey hey...
And there goes your freedom of choice There goes the last human voice There goes the last DJ
Well some folks say they're gonna hang him so high â'Cause you just can't do what he did There're some things you just can't put in the minds of those kids
As we celebrate mediocrity all the boys upstairs want to see How much you'll pay for what you used to get for free
There goes the last DJ Who plays what he wants to play And says what he wants to say, hey hey hey...
And there goes your freedom of choice There goes the last human voice And there goes the last DJ
Well he got him a station down in Mexico And sometimes it'll kind of come in And I'll bust a move and remember how it was back then
And there goes the last DJ Who plays what he wants to play And says what he wants to say, hey hey hey...
And there goes your freedom of choice There goes the last human voice. And there goes the last DJ

sort of the same theme as some of Ray's songs?
" In a Shanghai Noodle Factr'y Place where I once used to be No where doing nothing People there were made of steel Tiny cogs in one big wheel Turning never learning
Had to make a break And soon I had to wake up feeling stronger, feeling stronger In my island of dreams, with impossible schemes
In a Shanghai Noodle Factr'y Place where I once used to be No where doing nothing People there were made of cans Packed like roosters in a pen Crowing, never knowing
Had to make a break I knew I couldn't fake it any longer Everything just aches Soon I'd have to wake up feeling stronger, feeling stronger In my island of dreams, with impossible schemes

was listening to Leonard Cohen's "Hey Thats No Way To Say Goodbye" yesterday evening.
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm, your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm, yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new, in city and in forest they smiled like me and you, but now it's come to distances and both of us must try, your eyes are soft with sorrow, Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time, walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me, it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea, but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie, your eyes are soft with sorrow, Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

World Party - Beautiful Dream
Do what you want but you gonna have to do it now! Say what you want but you gonna have to say it loud!
Running around with the world on your shoulder. You look around and you're just getting older. Once you had a beautiful dream. Ah ah...
Follow the sun or you know you're gonna live in the clouds. Keep your mind one or you know it's gonna hit the ground
Running around with the world on your shoulder You look around and you're just getting older Once you had a beautiful dream. (You got a beauitiful dream) Ah... A beautiful dream (You got a beautiful dream) Ah... A beautiful dream (You got a beautiful dream) Ah...
Running around with your head full of worry You look around and you've just been in a hurry Once you had a beatiful dream
Ah ah...
Do what you want but you know you gotta do it now! Kill what you want but you better not kill this town!
Running around with the world on your shoulder You look around and you're just getting older Once you had a beautiful dream (You had a beautiful dream) Ah... A beautiful dream (You had a beautiful dream) Ah... A beautiful dream (You had a beautiful dream) Ah...

The Band - It Makes No Difference It makes no diff'rence where I turn I can't get over you and the flame still burns It makes no diff'rence, night or day The shadow never seems to fade away And the sun don't shine anymore And the rains fall down on my door Now there's no love As true as the love That dies untold But the clouds never hung so low before It makes no diff'rence how far I go Like a scar the hurt will always show It makes no diff'rence who I meet They're just a face in the crowd [ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/r3j ] On a dead-end street And the sun don't shine anymore And the rains fall down on my door These old love letters Well, I just can't keep 'Cause like the gambler says Read 'em and weep And the dawn don't rescue me no more Without your love I'm nothing at all Like an empty hall it's a lonely fall Since you've gone it's a losing battle Stampeding cattle They rattle the walls And the sun don't shine anymore And the rains fall down on my door Well, I love you so much It's all I can do Just to keep myself from telling you That I never felt so alone before

two hungarian songs
Memories
Long ago, when my heart was loud Your heart answered with love
It passed and now I am quiet With love that turned to silence
It was long ago; we were still together The picture stays in me, beautiful even today
Your face, nearly glides in the wind I can hear your laughter like a melody
I trusted, the long separation Will not tear our lives apart
---------------------------------
I Go Away
I go away, said the little child Tell only you and no one else I go until there will be a little island Where I will be happy
I go away, the people here The way they look at me, I feel it's strange I go until there will be a little island Then I will write to you
I didn't say, I didn't tell him There are no islands I only said "Boy, farewell! I'll wait for your letter"

Poison HeartNo one ever thought this one would survive Helpless child, gonna walk a drum beat behind Lock you in a dream, never let you go Never let you laugh or smile, not you.
Well, I just want to walk right out of this world, 'Cause everybody has a poison heart I just want to walk right out of this world, 'Cause everybody has a poison heart.
Making friends with a homeless torn up man He just kind of smiles, it really shakes me up. There's danger on every corner but I'm okay Walking down the street trying to forget yesterday.
Well, I just want to walk right out of this world, 'Cause everybody has a poison heart. I just want to walk right out of this world, 'Cause everybody has a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart ... yeah!
You know that life really takes its toll And a poet's gut reaction is to search his very soul So much d**n confusion before my eyes, But nothing seems to phase me and this one still survives.

Panama Red - New Riders of the Purple Sage
Panama Red, Panama Red He'll steal your woman, then he'll rob your head Panama Red, Panama Red On his white horse, Mescalito He come breezin' through town I'll bet your woman's up in bed with ol' Panama Red
The judge don't know when Red's in town He keeps well hidden underground But everybody's acting lazy Falling out and hangin' 'round
My woman said, "Hey Pedro you're actin' crazy like a clown" Nobody feels like working Panama Red is back in town
Panama Red, Panama Red He'll steal your woman, then he'll rob your head Panama Red, Panama Red On his white horse, Mescalito He come breezin' through town I'll bet your woman's up in bed with ol' Panama Red
Everybody's looking out for him 'Cause they know Red satisfies Little girls love to listen to him Sing and tell sweet lies
But when things get too confusing, honey You're better off in bed And I'll be searching all the joints in town for Panama Red
Panama Red, Panama Red He'll steal your woman, then he'll rob your head Panama Red, Panama Red On his white horse, Mescalito He come breezin' through town I'll bet your woman's up in bed with ol' Panama Red

Future Now - The MC5 Screechin' useless martyrs hangin naked upon the cross They would have you believe the lie they shriek that all is lost Forget their logical desperation, utilize your imagination The future's here right now if you're willing to pay the cost The power crazy leaders who control your very fate They would twist your will, steal your life and sell your soul away If you're drifting or wandering lost, you're the perfect target for the double cross Freedom's yours right now, if you rule your own destiny Here he comes, cosmopolitan ennemy Here they come, interstellar diplomats Some say the truth was meant to be hidden Others maintain nothing is forbidden The key to the mystery And our _ mind explodes in a post atomic dawn The future breaks like a tidal wave, engulfing everyone Confusion and chaos, trauma of birth A strange new day for the people of the Earth Traditions, burned away by the rising sun

Let's Work Together - As they say in Guitar Hero..."as made famous by Canned Heat (although written and first performed by Wilbert Harrison).
* This song was inspired by UncleSon's post in the 'Arthur is in the (White) House' thread.
Together we'll stand Divided we'll fall Come on now people Let's get on the ball And work together Come on, come on Let's work together (Now now people) Because together we will stand Every boy, every girl and man People, when things go wrong As they sometimes will And the road you travel It stays all uphill Let's work together Come on, come on Let's work together You know together we will stand Every boy, girl, woman and man Oh well now, two or three minutes Two or three hours What does it matter now In this life of ours Let's work together Come on, come on Let's work together (Now now people) Because together we will stand Every boy, every woman and man Ahhh, come on now... Ahhh, come on, let's work together... Well now, make someone happy Make someone smile Let's all work together And make life worthwhile Let's work together Come on, come on Let's work together (Now now people) Because together we will stand Every boy, girl, woman and man Oh well now, come on you people Walk hand in hand Let's make this world of ours A good place to stand And work together Come on, come on Let's work together (Now now people) Because together we will stand Every boy, girl, woman and man Well now together we will stand Every boy, girl, woman and man
